How to use this chart

Find the row matching your pay grade, then move to the column matching your completed creditable service. “Over 6” begins after six completed years; it is not the same as “six years or less.”

Figures are monthly basic pay before deductions and exclude housing, subsistence, special pays and bonuses.
